Life is a flower of which love is the honey

The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable

A compliment is like a kiss through a veil

To love beauty is to see light

Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant

Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet

A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing

When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age

He who opens a school door, closes a prison

What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves

Wisdom is a sacred communion.

Fashions have done more harm than revolutions
